Final answer:

Variable decelerations occur when the fetal heart rate decreases below the baseline and has an irregular shape.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is C) Variable Decelerations.

Variable decelerations occur when the fetal heart rate decreases below the baseline and has an irregular shape.

These decelerations are caused by cord compression, which restricts blood flow to the baby.
